The only decks that I build in MTG are the ones you make, and this one is just good ol fashion fun.

Deck was very cool but I was a little taken aback that the deck almost always needs to pass the turn after doing the combo. After looking though possible creatures to add to the Monstrous Vortex chain, I think a card overlooked is Majestic Myriarch. With a couple extra haste creatures in the deck I think it would become a very consistent way to kill the turn you combo (assuming that you don't draw Majestic Myriarch).
It's indeed a creature I've overlooked since it doesn't normally show up in search results. There is however a pretty unfortunate fail case where we don't have enough creatures on the battlefield for it to Discover into more stuff. If Imoti is the only creature in play when we cast any of our 5-drops, then hitting Myriarch will stop the Discover chain (since it's only a 2/2 on the stack). So while the dream scenario of an instant win is quite appealing I don't thing it's worth the extra inconsistency since our deck is unlikely to have 3+ creatures in play.
@LegenVD oh I completely missed that aspect of Monstrous Vortex because I was focusing on the mana value part of the card. You are right that it becomes too inconvenient when it will actually stop the chain most of the time.
@@LegenVDwhy not play first sliver over imoti? you get all her best cards + 3c worth of interaction. and most importantly first sliver has a guaranteed win the turn you cascade thanks to terror of the peaks/purforos
@@matteomariani7070 In theory the First Sliver build is more powerful, although with 5 colors you lose some consistency in the manabase and you likely face more difficult matchups with a higher likelihood of counterspells. Most of all playing First Sliver without it being a Sliver deck is why we can't have nice things.
THE FUCK IT IS, ITS DOG SHIT, HAVE YOU ACTULLY PLAYED THIS DECK? IT LOSES LITTERALY EVERY GAME BECAUSE APPARETNLY MTGA LIKES TO GIVE OPPONENTS ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING
I've seen some silly jank in my time, but that may be the most ridiculous pile of card's I've seen this year. Which is saying something since it's December 31st.
As a 6-drop we can't Discover into it reliably. Would need to cast it first, then resolve our Vortex, and then cast another large creature which is too slow in most cases. Because if we have Vortex in play and try to cast Surrak and Goreclaw from hand, everything would resolve before it hits the battlefield.
Using Monstrous Vortex, it is very hard to go from casting 5 cost cards to casting 6 cost cards. Get Surrak and Goreclaw onto the battlefield you would need to have started with casting a 6 drop and not hit any 5 cost cards on the discovery until you hit Surrak and Goreclaw.
lvd curious why the creatures you said dont work with the chain is it just 5 mana dudes that work wouldn't anything that has 5 power or more work here am i missing something? discovery cares about it being x or less not specific x amount so if you played the blue 6 power adventure guy it has 6 cmc and hits your 5 power 5 cmc stuff continuing the chain right?
@@zigzag2370 Monstrous Vortex is a bit of a confusing card. It has two checks. First it looks to make sure the cast creature has 5 or more power, THEN it will discover X where X is the MANA VALUE of the cast creature. So a 2 cost 10/10 would Discover 2 and just find you a 2 drop (or 1 drop).
Love Monstrous Vortex in my Etali, Primal Conqueror deck. I run it alongside Mirror March, Chimil, and Cabaretti Revels. It gets gross fast. I once got someone a little over -9000 because I dropped Craterhoof Behemoth and Mirror March copied it like 13 times while I had a ton of cheated in and copied creatures already 😂
It does, although I believe First Sliver will get matched against more busted decks usually. Kenrith would be a way to give the team Haste if we have a leftover red mana, Xenagos would work with one creature or Palani's Hatcher can speed up other Dinosaurs. There's also a handful of red creatures that inherently have haste and meet our conditions. Most of the useful channel creatures still seem to be in Simic colors although would gain access to the Prismari treasure makers to maybe speed things up.
I faced this combo with first sliver a couple of times, it's nasty and guaranteed OTK. I just hate any first sliver deck that is not running slivers as it's always used to abuse the matchmaker cause first sliver isn't as high rated as other 5c commanders.

I watch every single video as my nightly ritual for a long ass time. i watch them fully and am sad when they end. but this one? couldn't take it for more than one game.. just stupid xD do nothing until one play either instantly wins you the game or your opponent has the correct interaction and you instantly loose. NICE the excitement is through the roof. not to mention every single sweeper looses you the game instantly and playing my emmara token deck taught me even aggro decks run sweepers nowadays
I feel like playing this on paper you'd win when people start seeing you try to calculate all the new entries. No self respecting player has time for all that nonsense!
@@trentonpeters8589 are you honestly going to argue modern horizons didn't break the game after the recent bans? I don't like single cards that can go 'infinite', sorry. Even broken cards of the early years don't do that very often. it's even uncommon, which like... ok, feels like higher complexity than shivan dragon, but ok. MH is just unfun busted.

I love LVD so much. I'm isolated due to disability, but he shows up for me, and in a weird way I feel loved.
Thanks for sharing. Love this deck. I've made a First Sliver version of it. It can finish your opponents with Purphoros (haste buff), Kenrith (trample and haste buff), Surrak (trample buff), etc once you hit the combo. You just need a good starting hand with a bunch of fetch lands and/or tri-lands.

I enjoy the Patlanza version of the deck, it usually wins when the commander hits the field.
I've seen some silly jank in my time, but that may be the most ridiculous pile of card's I've seen this year.
Which is saying something since it's December 31st.
im still waiting for someone to abuse vesuvan dupli and hidestugu/kairi bs on streams cus yikes!
I did this but with the first sliver when the card first came out, so I can Cascade into it every time. this looks like a better build anyway though.
Now this is pod racing. Here's to 2025 🎉
Why no gore claw and sarauk? He gives all creature a +1 counter and haste when they enter plus trample

@@zigzag2370 Monstrous Vortex is a bit of a confusing card. It has two checks. First it looks to make sure the cast creature has 5 or more power, THEN it will discover X where X is the MANA VALUE of the cast creature. So a 2 cost 10/10 would Discover 2 and just find you a 2 drop (or 1 drop).

I usually force whatever commander I want and suffer through the hell queue with my jank decks so I forgot
I faced this combo with first sliver a couple of times, it's nasty and guaranteed OTK. I just hate any first sliver deck that is not running slivers as it's always used to abuse the matchmaker cause first sliver isn't as high rated as other 5c commanders.
Magic as she is played!
new to mtg here. can someone explain how cascade work? why it always find the vortex and not the other nonland card that has less cmc?
You are a Monster sir 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lost to a version of this that ran The First Sliver and Terror of The Peaks
The first sliver version of this deck has ways to give your creatures haste right?
I kinda want to try this while adding Mending of Dominaria.
ITS DOG SHIT, LOST EVERY FUCKING GAME I PLAYED
any reason for running this combo with imoti commander instead of the first sliver? you would easily be able to win in the same turn with haste enablers like purphoros or urabrask
both of those are four cmc
@ they’re both 5, urabrask only has 4 power though. Purphoros is a 5 mana 7/6, he would work

My bad. It was late at night. I thought it was CMC > 5 vs Power. I thought I hacked the deck with my targeted Scryfall search
Actually Myriarch is not the worst. It's ineffective if both it and wurm are in hand. I guess it's a dud if you expect it to trigger Vortex from hand
@@liquiddiamondlipstik Even if you Discover into Myriarch it will stop you from Discovering more creatures unless you already had 3+ creatures in play before you start the Discover combo.

Out of curiosity, would this work with Sliver cascade? I assume so, then you can have some fun with other etb 5 drops like terror of the peaks etc.
Edit: Obv just much more difficult to drop the commander on curve
Wouldn't Craterhoof Behemoth be good here? Unless it is the first creature you discover or something, but it could also be very big and has Haste.
As an 8-drop you wouldn't be able to Discover into it.
@@LegenVD Oh, yeah, I forgot how Discover worked, 🤦♀.
How greedy can you be?
Yes
I appreciate you not using Alchemy cards.
I see a surge of Mindbreak traps in blue decks
just gotta post how i loathe mana drain.
Also, happy new year everyone!
Why no Craterhoof?
Wouldn’t be able to Discover into it and 8 mana is still a lot to get to.
Maybe putting creature that gives other haste (like red glimmer) would be 1 hit kill combo.
-edit
I get it now, it cant be. Imoti has to find Vortex to do the combo, if glimmer is found instead (its also 4 mana) its bad.
Also can’t play red cards due to the commander restriction. If you play First Sliver as commander there are options like Purphoros or Kenrith.
Tactical mistake there by villain to disconnect instead of surrendering. They lose way more time letting the combo play out compared to the amount of time spent roping.
Surrak and Goreclaw as a haste enabler to win instantly? I play a non meme Imoti deck in paper but I think Surrak and Goreclaw is still a perfect wincon in this deck to allow you to kill in the same turn you cascade chain.
As a 6-drop we can't Discover into it reliably. Would need to cast it first, then resolve our Vortex, and then cast another large creature which is too slow in most cases. Because if we have Vortex in play and try to cast Surrak and Goreclaw from hand, everything would resolve before it hits the battlefield.
@@LegenVD Ah that makes sense, forgot all the creatures you were using were 5 power. Thanks for clarification!
I wonder how's LVD opinion on Balatro
The sheer number of players who use emotes only to be poor sports has me wondering if emotes as a whole in Arena were a mistake.
just played some asshole using this deck and roping every single cascade trigger, game went over an hour, i just read comics while waiting
Did you have fun?
☹️ 😊
I watch every single video as my nightly ritual for a long ass time. i watch them fully and am sad when they end. but this one? couldn't take it for more than one game.. just stupid xD do nothing until one play either instantly wins you the game or your opponent has the correct interaction and you instantly loose. NICE the excitement is through the roof. not to mention every single sweeper looses you the game instantly and playing my emmara token deck taught me even aggro decks run sweepers nowadays
Commandeer could be helpful
Good point! Forgot that card has been added. Might still be tricky to cast for free though, the deck leans more towards green.
0:51 how is it "guaranteed" to find you monstorous vortex?
Oh I see. Bc it's cheaper than the cost of the commander... if it's the only card that does that then it'll automatically find it... wow!
hello mtg enjoyers
Definitely not recommended for mobile. Clicking through creatures would be hell. 😅
I feel like playing this on paper you'd win when people start seeing you try to calculate all the new entries. No self respecting player has time for all that nonsense!
And here I thought game 1 oppo had a crwzy turn 😂
Simic is disgusting
basao
mtga sure has gotten degenerate
So boring to play and play against:(
Wtf was that
silly
vortex is one of those one card combos that shouldn't exist
thanks modern horizons for ruining magic
It's so vulnerable to removal though lmao
Oh cry about it. Magic has gotten cards that “broke the game” since the beginning.
@@trentonpeters8589 are you honestly going to argue modern horizons didn't break the game after the recent bans?
I don't like single cards that can go 'infinite', sorry. Even broken cards of the early years don't do that very often.
it's even uncommon, which like... ok, feels like higher complexity than shivan dragon, but ok.
MH is just unfun busted.
The "craziest deck" it's just a UG ramp deck xD
Is it "just" that though? Look how the mana value of creatures was crafted.
Brawl video = unsubscribed
Happy new year
